The Midas one was an absolute shocker, I actually didn't mind the middle one, the Wards sponsorship brings back a few good memories.

Yes, Gray,the Ward's sponsored kit does bring back good memories. There is , absolutely, no need to stray anywhere near blue given the number of possible colours and their shades. At the end of the season it does not really matter what we played in (even string vests) so long as we have done well. The kit is the icing on the cake-there are innumerable combinations nowhere near blue though. Why can we not play in our brilliant home kit unless it clashes with our opponents' colours. If so then why not stick to the combination of red, white and black? For example plain white shirts, black shorts and red socks. The kit makers will still get their sales of away shirts without being miles away from our traditional colours of over 100 years.
At the end of the day red, white and blue(unfortunately) are the backbone of most sporting endeavours. Leave the purples, pinks and lavenders etc to the fashion afficionadoes.
I like the away kit
Simple and not too fussy and I love the contrast V neck as I don't like collars
May treat myself, although don;t buy shirts too often. however, hliday season is upon us and I need to show my allegiance XD
Incidently, whilst Adidas have apologised for fkin up their order processing, leaving us short, it seems Wendy might be in a worse state than we are XD

While I share the sentiments over red black and white, lets face it. This is a pub shirt. Its the shirt you can go out in showing your allegiances, but not clashing with the wife's new top like red and white stripes do. Plain white shirts with red trim would be my choice for the team, but when you have a 'fuller figure' they aren't very flattering. Purple goes nice with jeans or chino's and isn't so effeminate that manly men, such as myself, would be put off wearing it. I like it.
Another away kit i did not like was the black and white striped Premier league one,we have also had the best ever away shirt in football,the lime green 1990
A thing of beautyAttachment 5573
